You can always use less or grep to search the csv file very efficiently and also re-create it quickly when you add/delete to your videos. Other more knowledgeable contributors should be able to polish and complete the above, or indeed propose something different than bash (python?) to perform the same task.

Don't they cater to hard links in the fs? As a block based backup application partclone is also good.

Checking deteriorating trends with smartctl won't hurt though.
